Mostly Seattle sports, beer, and TTRPGs. He/They. Disaster bi.

I mean. At this point. You have to hold the coaching staff for game day prep, the training staff for ongoing injuries, and the front office for keeping so many injury prone players on the roster. It’s a top down failure for the Sounders.

So, Brian, why didn't you sleep last night? Oh hey thanks for asking. A calf cramp so bad that caused me to scream so loudly I'm legitimately surprised someone didn't call the authorities to report a murder

Finally finished the latest season of King of the Hill. Good heavens the last season was an incredibly good, seemingly impossible restart. This season is somehow one of the best in the whole series????

I know I should feel like a bad parent because I'm very much enjoying how quiet the house is while I'm working now that the kiddo is back in school, but... Yeah I'm really enjoying how quiet the house is.

there are definitely downsides to the nuclear block but the reason I keep coming back to it as necessary and good is that it completely ruined the whole MAGA engagement model to the point that they prefer to mock us from the nazi bar rather than come here to troll us directly

Bluesky oldheads will remember that brief period of time when the conservative trolls tried to storm the place and were flummoxed by the idea they would have to organically grow an audience and that someone who didn't want to talk to them could nuke every interaction they ever had from orbit

Bluesky is a "liberal bubble" because fascist chuds can't get traction without algorithmic assistance and because people here trained themselves to block "debate me" trybois the instant they roll up

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."
